This is driving me nuts. It began abour 8 days ago. I had downloaded some Torrent sites (bittorrent and utorrent). Since then I have deleted all torrent stuff including registers.

Internet Explorer and other search engines have 20 Second delay when searching for a list of sites, and when clicking the backpage button.
Forward searches, with the arrow are the same.

once in a web site forward and back work fine. On line applications work fine also, such as Poker sites.

The problem is not with the web or internet explorer. My friend's computer and internet explorer work fine.

I have checked my Modem via Cox Cable. I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition and Internet Explorer. I cleared all temporary internet files. I ran %temp% and cleared all those files. I ran Adaware and deleted those fils. I ran Norton to search my entire computer and it's clean. I Set up msconfig startup, Services and General IAW my checklist. Service pack 2 and service pack 3 are not the problem. I'm pulling out my hair. It looks like I may have to reformat my main hard drive.

My computer currently has:
Intel P4 Socket 478 Northwood 2.4ghz/400 bus
Memory is 1Gb, Single channel

My Motherboard is FIC P4-865PE series/VL13 version PCB 1.x
Bios Version: FIC – 42302e31

emal me at
Thanks, Hurle

PROBLEM CAUSE:

Browser Helper Object called SecureServicePack5.dll

(Norton Symantec Doesn't catch this. RegEdit Doesn't find it. HyjackThis didn't hel either. )

FIX:
Run BHO Demon. Get it online at
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,23611-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html

Run it. A list of Browser Helper Objects will be listed. Highlight each one and click Details to access the Status panel. Alternately Disable them one at a time to find the culprit. Close the Internet Explorer after each change and restart it before testing it.
You should also go to C:\Program Files\ and find all the SecureServicePack folders. Open each one and run uninstall.

Note: Third Party browser extensions may be disabled n the internet tools, Advanced to stiop third-party tool bands and Browser Helper Objects which may couse browser problems such as delays.
These objects run in the same memory context as the browser and they can perform any action on the available windows and modules. You want some of them because they allow some of your programs to run correctly. Others are there as spyware and adware only and can cause browser operational problems.
